Sen. and Mrs. Logan planned and made to

that they form the most striking part Of the
room This is known as the Logan corner,
and the most important part Of il Is Logan's

throughout the war, and which since then the
general always kept with him.

Mr.. Logon still occupies as her bedroom
the one which she and Ire general used uring
his e time and the one II which Inc general

came, think, from the property of Count
De Grasse, who came TO this country with
Lafayette, and over the mantel facing the
generals bed there hangs fine crayon Of
Mrs. Logan surrounded by baskets Of Indian
work. The bed on which the general died is
a low, ole fashioned mahogany one, and there

Gen Logan's workshop, Of which l give
you a sketch, is on the same floor and just
next to this bedroom. It is not a large room,
but it has a wide front window giving mag
uihceat view. There are shelves around the

an aud near these were The Rebellion

them. and ii looked like a workshop rather
than fancy library. An antique mahogany
bookcase was pointed out to me as filed will
private papers, and the contents of this littl

THE RUSH OF THE BREAKERS.

The Life Saving Boat Coming in on q
Great ROller-A Matter of "Duty."
1t was 2 o'clock on q summers morning
when all the guests of the hotels at Beach
Haven heard the boom of I. gun aboard a ship
in distress, and ten minutes later 200 people
were on the beach. The wind blew a howl
ing gale and great bank of impenetrablea3
darkness hid everything seawaTd beyond the
first line of breakers. Three times the solemn
boom Of the signal gun foated to our ears on
the piping gale, and then came a silence
which even the mad rush of the breakers did
not seem to break. Every ear was bent sea-
ward-every listener felt that thesSloomof the
craft which had made that hostile shore in
that storm was sealed. There was nothing
for 900 miles to break the sweep of the gallo
and the rush of the sea.
"Hark!"
A hundred voices shouted the word to-
gether. 1t was the rub of oars in their locks.
and next moment the life saving boat whose
station was mile below us, hung far above
our heads on great sea-sank out of sight in
way to make every heart chill-heaved into
view again. and then came rushing at the
sloping beach of sand with the froth so deep
around her, and the spume and spray flying
over her in such cloud that we only saw tho
uaA n DodicS oOoNS Acl SullWuIca. Oue IuSueu
to our feet on great roller, half dozen men
sprang out and pulled her out of reach OF the
next, and then eight wet and limp and fright
ened men were helped out and given restora-
tiveS.
"What was it?" asked some one of the life
guard captain.
"An Austrian bark on the bar"
"And how many were lost?"
"Seven"
In quarter of an hour all were gone and
it would have seemed dream had not the
waves for three miles up and down been
fiinging spars and planks and beams and
boards on the beach as indisputable evidence
of sea tragedy. Every man of the life saw
ing crew had taken his life i'll his hands as he
met that shrieking gale and those mad waves,
but not man boasted-therc was not even
exultation i'll their demeanor. The next
wreck might take every life. That was a
chance to be run. Rescuers and rescued
melted out of our sight like SO many specters,
and we saw taem no more.-Detroit Free

It's an Art to Mix Drinks.

@Oh, yes, it is good deal of an art to mix
drinks properly" said the barkeeper, as he
set the cocktail on the mahogany and put ff-
teen cents in the drawer. "Some barkeepers
make big wages, too, because they can mix q
drink in fancy shape, but that's nothing
compared with what some men make that
can mix the liquors themselves Almost any
man can put little Angostura and syrup
and whisky in glass and stir it up, but when
man can put some raisins and pure spirits
and few drugs in barrel and make pretty
good liquor, he's an artist and a dandy. Those
fellows come high, but the wholesalers have
